Since 2003, FAO has been working on topics concerning insects for food and animal feed as alternative protein sources to satisfy the global growing demand for meat, and to preserve the environment. From the perspective of the Anthropocene, the new geo-cultural epoch in which we live, defined by our own massive impact on the planet, this paper aims to propose a multidisciplinary reflection about the role of edible insects as “future foods” in Western culture. Covering a range of disciplines among human sciences, anthropology, sociology, history and law, our contribution offers a brief review on entomophagy and on some cultural and social issues that insects raise in the scientific debate.

Abstract

Since 2003, FAO has been working on topics concerning insects for food and animal feed as alternative protein sources to satisfy the global growing demand for meat, and to preserve the environment. From the perspective of the Anthropocene, the new geo-cultural epoch in which we live, defined by our own massive impact on the planet, this paper aims to propose a multidisciplinary reflection about the role of edible insects as “future foods” in Western culture. Covering a range of disciplines among human sciences, anthropology, sociology, history and law, our contribution offers a brief review on entomophagy and on some cultural and social issues that insects raise in the scientific debate.
